On Tuesday, November 19, 2013 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., city officials held the Downtown Summit to talk about the big picture of downtown Knoxville redevelopment. 

The forum was held at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St. 

Topics included what has happened in the past decade, what is happening now, and opportunities and challenges for the future.
